Mariners pitcher Taijuan Walker continued his road woes, allowing four runs and six hits in just 5 2/3 innings as the Mariners dropped an 8-2 decision to Toronto on Sunday.
Walker did not allow a hit through the first four innings, but the wheels fell off quickly in the fifth inning as the young pitcher fell to 0-4 on the road this season in six starts away from Seattle.
"I was trying to get ahead and thought I did a pretty good job," said Walker to MLB.com. "I felt like my command was pretty good. I just missed with two pitches, and they made it hurt."
Walker, who is 1-5 overall on the season, hasn't won since an April 27 victory against Texas. In the five starts he's made since then, the right-hander has allowed 20 earned runs.
